Started with this beer while eating dinner at their restaurant. What a pleasure this beer was. I was a little suprised by the darker color, but it sure tasted good. Great malt flavor with a really nice hop aftertaste. These guys know how to brew beer!

On tap at the brewery, Anchorage AK. Pours amber with long lasting, foamy white head. Aroma is of caramel malt, hint of hops and ripe fruit. Body is medium and smooth. Taste is of caramel malt, herbal hops and ripe fruit. Finish is long and dry. Good brew.

My folks brought me home a growler from their Alaskan vacation. That's some love.

Poured into a shaker pint. Solid tan colored head that stands a finger and a half. Mild stickage of lacing on the glass, but a steady cap on the surface. The color is a beautiful cinnamon amber orange. Great clarity!

Smell has a great ginger snap, clove and cinnamon aroma. Very bold a and clear. Taste follows smell, but adds an orange peel citrus hops. Bit of a smoky character.

Mouthfeel has a clean light body. Very easy quaffable. I'm going to enjoy finishing off this growler!

A- Dark amber, essentially brown. Head is disappointingly small and leaves only a bit of lacing.S- Smell is sweet malt, with some light spicyness and notable citric hoppiness. Still more sweet malt than anything else.T- Taste is intially sweet, too much so, in fact. Caramel malt abounds, which is good, but it needed a balancing componant of some kind. Some yeasty esters and some spice and citrus hops come in to cut it a bit but it's sweet up until a buttery (diacetyl perhaps?) finish. M- Decent body, maybe a touch light but only slightly so. Low carbonation, but again, this was acceptable.O- It had all the right componants for a great beer in my eyes, just not in the right proportions. I'd drink it again, but in my opinion it's not one of Glacier Brewhouse's better beers.

On tap at the brewery. This was a very nice offering, and goes well with food. Pours darker red than most ambers, with a thin head that had good retention. Aroma is very biscuity, with just a hint of hops. The taste is dominated by malts - tipping this beer towards the brown end of the scale. Slightly sweet and well balanced with floral hops.

A - Served with a thin cap of white foam that leaves behind sticky glass-coating lace. Transparent red-brown body, with plenty of visible bubbles. Only quibble was head volume and that's because they wanted to give me a full glass.

D - This is a nice,well-crafted, amber ale. I'm not sure if there's much more to say. It's a good beer for having multiple pints and not really having to think too much. For the style it's among the better iterations I've tried (and I'm not including the "Amber" IPA and DIPA offerings).

Enjoyed on tap at the brewery. Draft pour was a deep, dark amber color. Nose had a pleasant caramelly-sweet character which was also noted on the palate. Moderate balancing of hops, with a somewhat soda-popl like quality to this beer with an abundance of carbonation. Easy to drink, even with the abundance of sweetness.
